I want to use padding when i print stuff.
The normal way is
But I want the number 5 to be replaced by a variable, as i want the padding to vary based on that variable.Code:printf("%5s",string)
But I don't think I can just put the variable name where 5 is.
Is there a way of using variable padding length?
Read the manual - study the * width.
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
Thanks. I was getting sscanf and printf mixed up.
I once had to use an old, broken version of sprintf() that didn't do the * correctly. Solution? First use sprintf() to build the format string, then use sprintf() again to format the output.
Uh... Yay?Code:sprintf(fmt, "%%%dd", width); sprintf(str, fmt, val);
Code://try //{ if (a) do { f( b); } while(1); else do { f(!b); } while(1); //}
